ResponseIQ Telephony Integration
Home · Selected projects · Results
A lead-routing integration designed to reduce the delay between a high-intent enquiry and the first sales contact.
The business problem
Veriforce received inbound leads from multiple sources. The existing MQL-to-SQL handover could take over an hour, creating a gap between a prospect expressing interest and the first sales call. Reporting showed a strong relationship between the speed of first contact and whether a lead converted.
The approach
I designed the ResponseIQ telephony integration and connected it to lead routing so that leads originating on high-intent pages could receive an immediate callback. The change focused on acting while the prospect was still engaged, rather than relying on a later manual follow-up.
The work joined the lead-routing process with telephony capability, making the response faster at the point where intent was highest.
My contribution
- Designed the ResponseIQ integration into the lead-routing process.
- Connected high-intent page enquiries to an immediate callback workflow.
- Used existing Power BI reporting on contact timing and conversion to identify the operational problem and assess the result.
The result
The day-one contact rate increased from 32% to 87%. This materially improved the speed and reliability of the first sales interaction.
Why it mattered
The integration addressed a practical point of friction between marketing-generated demand and sales follow-up. It demonstrates how CRM, routing and telephony decisions can improve the customer experience when they are designed around the timing of buyer intent.
